Paris Olympics: 'Never Seen Contest Like This Before', AFI Chief Reacts To Intense Men's Javelin Final
Paris Olympics: Athletics Federation of India (AFI) president Adille Sumariwalla was surprised by the intense javelin throw competition in the final of the Paris Olympics, where the top five throws were above 87.58 m, which won Neeraj the gold at the Tokyo Games.
In the final, Neeraj Chopra logged the second-best throw of his career to date and the season's best to take the silver medal, finishing behind Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who won the gold medal with an Olympic record-shattering 92.97m attempt.
Moreover, Arshad crossed the 90m mark twice to set a massive Olympic record, held by Andreas Thorkildsen of Norway (90.57m in Beijing 2008), closing the night with a massive 91.79m throw on his final attempt after his gold winning throw.
